Getting Things Done in Congress
Part one: A recapitulation of the human comedy we call getting things done for Congress A few weeks ago we were fascinated to watch the drawn out election of The Speaker of the House. At first I must admit I was worried because Republicans had a lot to try to undo and a lot on […]
Interim assertions
While we are waiting for the new Congress, and new Governors and other electees to step in and while we hope for the best, I will observe the following: Much as I love The Club for Growth and wish every Republican member of Congress could be a Club elected one, we all know this is […]
Election 2022 post-mortem
I said what I had to say about the faux red wave the other morning. The combination of evil Democrats* who cheat any way they can, and their base of raging lobotomized mouth-breathing imbeciles, was enough to turn the tide. In any event, here are three excellent assessments I wholeheartedly agree with, all from my […]
Never underestimate the stupidity of the American electorate
That is all I have to say. (Oh, and thank you Governor DeSantis for allowing me to live in free state…)
A Tale of Two Speeches
It was the worst of speeches, it was the best of speeches. It was a speech of foolishness, it was a speech of wisdom. It was a speech of incredulity, it was a speech of belief. It was a speech of darkness, it was a speech of light. It was a speech of rage and […]
So, if it’s safe now, it was safe then? Ya don’t say!
My wife and I had COVID-19 in the last half of December last year. My relatively mild case — hers was worse — was mitigated by “prohibited” medicines and “questionable” treatments that the thoroughly corrupt medical establishment in our country demonized, along with those of us who wanted to choose our personal course of action.

1984 – Compulsory Language
Decades ago, when the first rumblings of the need for gay marriage to be legalized came about, I was grappling with the issue. At first I was okay with the idea. I understood that for a member of a gay couple it would be easier if he was married and a hospital has visiting restricted […]
Propaganda vs. Reality
One man’s reality is another’s propaganda and vice versa. Many decades ago, there was a marvelous series on TV where Benjamin Dunlap, a movie lover and intellect, wanted to pass on his own experience. He had watched certain films over and over, and saw details that would escape those who only watched those films once. […]
Roe is Overturned And the Left Thinks It’s the end of the World
In the past I have written about how one argues with a liberal. The liberal says, “Well, what about this?” You answer factually. You get, “I don’t want to talk about it” — ignoring the fact that he was the one who brought it up. Or, “Where did you hear that? I never heard that” […]
The January Sixth Committee
I did not watch all of the hearings. But I did see a lot of them and saw many of what those on the Committee would consider the “highlights”. First some observations: Not once has the Committee played the part of Trump’s comments to his supporters that we will now march to the Capitol to […]
